Special mention to MJC for his 36 “bookmark this” defeat predictions this season. That type of positivity has spurred the boys on to European qualification 👍

He will be in deep mourning, in a darkened room just now as his big team got fukd.

Ten mins to go at Parkhead. Will be a nervy last 28 mins for Hearts....

What a job Jens have done congratulations guys Top manger best scottish side I've seen play at ibrox in years I'm rangers fan football was unreal that even thou it destroyed me well done on great season 👍 👏

Also delighted to have proved all the old dinosaurs wrong who said this style of football wouldn't work in the Premiership for a wee team like ours.

In pub on 2nd bottle of wine with Mrs grizzly, she has allowed me one glass 🤣🤣 What a season. I just love this club and this season been immense. No idea what happens before next season but I have no fears as this club is in good hands and on the way up. Right who wants a joke?..........OK.....too far 🤣🤣

Congratulations to the management and players for a season that we will not forget. 4 th is the very least they deserve. Time to celebrate.

The Hibs fans were very complimentary on my journey back through Leith and Edinburgh.

The biggest issue is "subjective calls infront of the VAR monitor. There should be no subjective calls with video evidence. If the operator can not tell definitivly then it should go no further. Its not a clear & obvious error!

What a time to be a Well fan! I could never have fathomed that any team in our league could play the way we do never mind our relatively small club. It's been truly memorable and that's thanks to the players and staff who have all played a real blinder. Who knows what shape we'll take next season but one thing's for sure and it's that our club is in good hands. I'd love us to throw a bit of money at signing Welsh, he really looks like he enjoys being with us and I was gutted when his goal was chopped off today. Great team, great fans, happy days. COYW!

So many compliments from fans of other teams regarding the way we have played football this season.

A great way to end the season. Credit to JBA, the backroom staff and last, but not least, the players. It really was a fitting way to conclude our campaign; with good and bad facets. * recording a win in apotentially togh game * playing excellent football, the best many of us can remember * big noisy support * player red carded * goal chalked off by VAR * poor referee * deserving to win by a few goals but settling for one * a clean sheet Our season in a microcosm. Ironically, Matty Connelly wasn't really tested. Good to see Faddy Mk2 score the winner. The main thing though is that we finished 4th, the spot we've held for some time and qualified for Europe automatically.

Mrs Baillie and Sgt Major Quirk would have been proud of this team. COYW!

We're in the Conference League Second Qualifying Round. According the UEFA site, the draw for that round takes place on the 17th of June. Date for the first leg is 23rd July. Date for 2nd leg is 30th July. All the dates after that are available here.

I get the feeling Hanley will be in Clarke's starting 11 even if he's on crutches.

Spent today in Valetta trying desperately to avoid checking my phone, and caving every 10 minutes or so. Great feeling at full time. i have been trying to convince myself since about mid-February that even if we didn’t win another game then this would have been one of the best seasons I’ve ever witnessed (first game 1967) turns out I was lying to myself. Delighted with fourth, anything else would have been a travesty.

Same here, know we are going to lose when he predicts a win

When McGinn just booted it out first game of the league season for a corner I was like this is going to be brutal lol. If this wasn't a season to get you back into Fir Park then I dont know what will its been fantastic I have witnessed players I thought were past it play arguably play best football of careers. What a season ladies and gentlemen!

STAND UP AND SING!! STAND UP AND SING!!! STAND UP AND SING FOR MOTHERWELL!!!!!!!!

It is, it would have been a travesty if a bog average Hibs team had pipped us. Until the sending off we were in total control, real nice football. Final ball only thing missing. We've had some amout of officials rule against us this year. Would be great of we could keep the manager and most of the players for one more crack at some silverware. However we've got to be realistic. Well done to everyone at the club for absolutely the most memorable football I have witnessed in 50+ years. Also a huge well done to every Motherwell fan who has responded at the gates. It could have been quite easy not to buy into it early on but 90% of us did and stayed with it. To go from 5500 average crowd to 8600 in one season is frankly astonishing.

Stand up and sing for Motherwell 🎶

See that mob got there 48minute penalty vs hertz the day to make them level at the break feckin mutants

Come on Ye Well Stand up and Sing for Motherwell

I'm happy with Connelly. Ox has been good for Dunfermline in patches, but also dropped a few clangers when I've been watching him. Yes, he saved a pen or two, but the one he saved last week was one he gave away in the first place. Most importantly, like everyone who doesn't start regularly in our first team, Connelly is being drilled every day on the way we play. There's a reason Ox dropped to 3rd in line.

Andrew Dallas has arrived at an erroneous conclusion that was based on probability and an unclear image. On that basis there is no way he should have called John Beaton over the monitor. In short it wasn't clear or obvious. The latter should have stood his ground, no doubt annoying Celtic fans in the process, given that nothing he saw clearly contradicted his initial decision. No mention either in the official statement of the pitch invasion or the role of Celtic staff in that. Siege mentality.

How can a decision taken on a clear and obvious error be subjective?

There is that word subjective again. You are right, the SFA don't even understand the purpose of their own process. VAR is there to remove subjectivity. It allows referees to make a judgement on the basis of fact and evidence. The referee makes a subjective call in real time. In that regard the analogy holds firm comparing with players and managers. VAR is supposed to remove the subjectivity. Referees now get a benefit of hindsight that no player or manager has the luxury of having. Anyway now that the SFA are in statement writing mode, I would imagine they are putting the finishing touches to the statement condemning the pitch invasion at Ibrox in the Cup and we will be reading that statement in the papers in the morning.. 👍

The most appalling aspect of this statement seems to be that they don’t even understand the point of VAR Mistakes will be made on the field, and subjective calls made in front of the VAR monitor, just as managers will pick the wrong team, goalkeepers concede soft goals and strikers miss from five yards out. Do they not get that’s the whole point of var is that you do get a chance to review and correct / confirm the decision? The striker and goalie in their analogy don’t. They seem to have made the argument that most of us would agree with is that current version of VAR should be scrapped and only reinstated if proper investment and training of officials takes place.

Not that I feel in any way sorry for Beaton but my target in all this is Dallas. No one other than this clown saw anything and it was him in Beatons ear that made him go to the monitor. I heard it mentioned by someone on the radio that he’s put Beaton in an impossible position. I can only imagine things would be 100 times worse for him if he went to the monitor and knocked it back. regardless of all this, and regardless of his thinking, Beaton should have been strong enough to say it wasn’t…. Or take longer than the 15secs he took to check properly

I get what you’re saying but regardless of how bad decisions are in a game there is no justification whatsoever for that to lead to the man’s home and family having to live in fear of some thug harming them or damaging their home. i do agree 100% our officiating/VAR needs help to drastically improve. Having said that though, how fkn difficult is it to understand and implement “only get involved for clear and obvious error” no wild cries for handball pk from the Celtic fans or the Celtic players. It’s not 100% certain it is handball. Why the fk did VAR poke their nose in? I blame them more than Beaton. they put him in an impossible Position such that whatever call he goes with, he’s going to get crucified

A problem entirely of their own making, i assume its not the Celtic fans allegedly harrassing Beaton, which is totally unacceprable under any circumstances. So why does Beaton keep getting Celtic games given the issues involving him. The statement condems everyone else but fails to mention any intention to resolve the main issue, ie incompetent match and Var officials continuously getting decisions wrong.

Yeah can't disagree with that (although i'm not fine with it 😂). Its just... how? I appreciate i/ we will always be biased towards our team. But that put to one side, the national reaction to it, including down in england, is not like anything we've had up here for as long as i can remember and the overwhelming majority are saying it was wildly wrong. How can anyone have the brass neck to come out now and say it was right? Especially one who is in charge of a group of referees, none of which are selected for representing at a higher level. It's going to be an awful look.

Penalty incident aside, some of our supporters really need a reality check. JBA has given us a team to be exceptionally proud of, regardless of how it ends. We outplayed a Celtic team for large parts of last night's contest - and this is a team chasing a title. Celtic's first goal was simply a moment of good fortune and an exceptional finish. The second was wonder strike. Yes, the season has not ended how we hoped and yes we may not get European football, but please look at the bigger picture. A squad that now has several very valuable assets - not all will be sold in the summer, but those who do go should fetch a more than decent fee, securing not only our short-term, but long-term future. A brand of football that many in the league envy - and so far distanced from what's been served up over the past few seasons. Crowds on the rise and a proper connection between club and its supporters. All of the above forms a very solid foundation and while JBA will be a wanted man, he will depart with us in good health both on and off the field, so much so we could entice some real managerial talent. Look at others in and around us. Hibernian may yet get fourth, but financially they are in a mess. Falkirk will be under pressure to repeat their efforts this season, and will likely have to do so losing one or two vital players from their squad. Aberdeen are in transition - a bloated squad full of under-achievers on big wages. Dundee, Dundee Utd and Kilmarnock will all undergo a turnover of players this summer, as will St Mirren should they stay up. St Johnstone have momentum and should compete, but for them consolidation will be the main aim. We have a wonderful opportunity to build on the foundations of this season. There is money in the bank, with more coming. European football would be an attractive proposition for any targets, but I don't think it's a deal breaker. JBA will have learned a lot from these last couple of months. Injuries haven't helped, and neither has a few players having a dip in form at an important stage of the season, but when you play all season at the intensity JBA wants, it's only natural some players will begin to feel the effects. A top six finish, a cup semi-final, challenging for European football - all of us would have bitten a hand off if this scenario had been offered to us before the season started. I think back to all the supporters at the start of the season who were critical of this style of play and how it would never work. Time and patience is in short supply in modern football, but for those who can't see what's being built then I feel sorry for you.

My team would be Ox Sparrow SOD Welsh Longelo Watt Fadinger Maswanhise Just RCC Hendry Connolly gives me the fear and played a significant role in the our cup exit in Aberdeen. Also if we recall Ox and don't play him what was the point i'm sure whatever youth GK would of been on the bench would of been fine.
